Hi,
I don't agree with Seva's opinion and it is certainly not the opinion of
Zend Technologies.
I personally think that PHP Eclipse is a very nice IDE and would like to
see PHP Eclipse developers join the PDT open source project and
contribute
their knowledge and effort to make PDT better.
As the software development manager of PDT project at Zend Technologies
I would like to encourage the PHP community to keep sending us feedbacks
(even if they contain criticism, it means you care) and feature
requests.
To the PHP eclipse developers and any other developer how is interested
in helping us making PDT a better product, please write us there are
many features still not implemented in PDT that can be both challenging
to develop and have great value to the PHP developer that will use them
in PDT.
We will be happy to assign you many of those features and help you to
get
a better understanding of the PDT code.

Joe -
PDT is an Open Source project, and it means any body can explore its
sources, provide patches and join development team. Why don't PHPEclipse
guys do that? Because of lack of motivation and resources.
